[@ricjamil3073]

This is perfection. Tables are timeless and beautiful.

hey thanks!

[@blueeyedcatdad1987]

Walnut, Cherry, or Mahogany just can't be beat in furniture making. They are ELITE!

[@commonergoods]

I’d add white oak to that list too!

Was it a oopsie @9:17 ? 😅 Nice to see than even people making beautiful pieces like these also can (sometime) still fail as mere mortals. The flush trim bit took good care of this detail 😉 Great result 👍

[@commonergoods]

Good eye! Yup, the first row of dominos were cut in about an inch too low 🥵 - but by small miracle they landed exactly in the cut off area for the leg trimming. I don’t always get so lucky! 😅 I remind myself often that mistakes are normal and part of the human process.

[@kateh4030]

Lots of nice details. The brass nails holding the back are an especially neat touch

[@commonergoods]

Thanks for noticing!

awesome design. what drawer slides are you using?

[@commonergoods]

I use the Grass Dynapro 3D- they’re a lot like Blum but jostle less and feel more solid.

[@justinleone3665]

Nice design! What thickness did you use for the walnut? Can't tell if it's 3/4" or 1".

[@commonergoods]

Thx! Started with 5/4 and planed down to 7/8”.

Hello, I am trying to learn furniture using pine wood because oak and walnut wood boards are expensive in my country, but when I sand, there are a lot of marks left. How can I do it properly?

[@commonergoods]

Great question! Sanding soft woods can be tough. What grit are you starting with? And what grit are you finishing with?

[@ryanwatkins4047]

Awesome 👌👌👌

[@commonergoods]

much appreciated 🙏

[@mattchew5965]

Nice nightstands! How did you make the dovetails on the drawers?

[@commonergoods]

We have them made by another local small biz, Design Craft Door, that’s been making them since the 80’s! As an itsy-bitsy business in a modest workspace I’m always trying to find ways to have more time to spend on the fun things like designing new stuff or making videos for yours truly (😉), so outsourcing a part like this to experts is a win-win. The only thing that takes a hit is my ego that wants to make each and every part myself 😅

[@natankaleb3216]

What is the name of the equipment you are using to place your logo on the back of the furniture at 21:13?

[@commonergoods]

It’s a branding iron.

[@JustinBrouillette]

Woah look at all those drawers 2:27

[@commonergoods]

drawers > shelves ☺️

[@hinduspl]

What domino size for that 45 cut ? 5mm ? Whats the thicknes of walls?

[@commonergoods]

[@hazembata]
